Sixty Percent and a Snap

Back again! Senator Taffy Howard and Representative Eric Muckey join Jake and Murdoc for a full ballot-amendment brawl, starting with Amendment J and whether South Dakota needs to put an explicit citizenship requirement for voting into the state constitution. Then comes the rare moment of bipartisan harmony on Amendment K and the proposed unclaimed property trust fund, before things heat right back up over Amendment I, Medicaid expansion, federal funding, affordability, work requirements, and just how much fiscal risk South Dakota should be willing to carry. Then Amendment L takes center stage, with Howard arguing South Dakota’s constitution deserves a 60 percent threshold and Muckey making the case that the change would weaken a century-old voter check on the Legislature. Plus, Brian Bengs’ viral C-SPAN confrontation gets the Town Hall treatment, the Senate race gets a temperature check, and the crew somehow still finds time for Buffalo Roundup bar reviews, a mystery hoodie giveaway, and bachelor-party survival odds. @DakotaTownHall @Jakeshoenbeck @MurdocJ Hosted on Acast.
